The Qataris will want to bridge the tradition of their country with that of the Rags.
A public face that embodies both.
Maybe a former Raggie player.
Step forward
Rio “ship of the desert ” Ferdinand.

The media saying nothing to do with Qatar royal family this Narrative been put out there so when Qatar airways sponsors them they can give them a 2b shirt deal over ten years! Or will they be still looked at at fair value?

If the Qatari fella is worth 1.3b, how is he buying them for 5b?
It's either a loan or he isn't the real buyer.

I am guessing he is just the front man.

Sheikh Jassim, who is the head of Qatar’s biggest bank, is a member of the Gulf state’s ruling Royal Family. They are estimated to be worth around £278bn.

Sheikh Jassim, 41, was educated at Sandhurst military academy in Berkshire and says he has been a lifelong United fan. His father Hamad was Qatar’s prime minister between 2007 and 2013 - and Hamad’s great uncle founded modern Qatar in 1971.

Man with less tha £2bn buying something for more than £4bn? - yes I think we can assume he's a front man.

I was trying to be diplomatic :)

So why is no-one in the press asking the obvious questions?

Because they don"t want to ask the question the answer might not suit the narrative .
